These Ducks could be worst ever

They've played 33 games, so this no longer is just a bad start. This is a bad season we're witnessing, one so bad, in fact, it could be historic. Unless they pick up the pace, this Ducks team will be the worst ever.

The 2000-01 Ducks won 25 out of 82 games. That's the lowest victory total in a full season in franchise history.

At their current rate, these Ducks will win only 22 times. The Boston Bruins already have 22 victories this season.

That 2000-01 team was so bad that only one player finished on the right side in plus/minus. And Antti Aalto was plus-1. In only 12 games played.

Seven months ago, it looked like the Ducks had turned a corner, had figured out whatever it is teams figure out on the path to becoming elite.

That wasn't a corner, though. It was just a page they turned, a page in a book that had an even greater twist coming.
